since I don't do anything (to quote DD2 once), I have time to do things like start fires and blow snow

That's right, you don't do anything other than being on BYH and chit chat with us all day long...

She wants to help as many as she can!

I found it easier to buy a few cans of fix-a-flat and a cig lighter powered air compressor to keep in her car than teach one of my family how to get the spare tire out and change it. Blowout=cell phone call and most of the time I'm on the receiving end of the call.

That would be HIGHLY expensive. The TPS monitor Toyota uses cost about $115/tire. The fix a flat stuff would destroy it.

Exactly!!!! Though I have more time to do it than some, rarely sleep more than 6 hours.

Perhaps, but how often do you really have a flat? And when we do, we have the tire fixed or replaced at 1st opportunity so the tire place is going to break the tire off the wheel regardless. At that point, they can change the TPM sensor if needed. (They are only about $50 for my Chevy Silverado.)
None of us really worry about the cost when trying to get a family member off the side of the road.

Good man.
Sleep is over rated. I'll catch up when i die.

Sounds fair to me!!

The old cross ones were way better since you could push down and pull up exerting more force. Of course if one doesn't mind waiting there is always AAA for that

Actually, an extender pole is in my trunk, upon which I must stand and bounce to loosen some! Yep, I do have road service on my policy. Was towed once.


See what happens wen you leave home??? WE POUNCE.

Got home pretty much on schedule. Plane landed somewhat late in Burlington, had to wait for them to plow the runway. DD1 picked us up but since things were running behind schedule, she didn't have time to bring us home and go back for classes so we dropped her at her friend's house where she leaves her car and walks to the campus, not far and saves a lot of parking lot money.

Drove the 20 miles home, spent 3 hours blowing snow including clearing the car off. Cleared the car off again starting at 7 and left at 7:15 to get DD1 at 7:30 ... make that 8. The road we usually take to the interstate when we go south is notoriously poor in snow, that town doesn't plow well so had to go north 3 miles then retrace south on the interstate. Road was sloppy and it was snowing, interstate was the same for the first 10 miles. Not real speedy.

Got her home, took a shower. Been up since 8 AM EST Tuesday and it is now 9:30 PM Wednesday. Going to bed.

DD1 has had 2 flats this year, one small but very sharp rock, one screw. Both plugged. I "oops" a curb a couple of months ago (guess I get that Zinger™ award), did the sidewall in of course. Bill got me a new tire, still have the same 4 TPMS sensors that were put in the wheels when it was new in 2009. At least I ASSUME so since I bought it used when it was 3 years old. I put the mini spare on myself because

1. I can
2. I don't want to wait for AAA to show up.
